Abstract
- This article discusses a case study of a young female patient with a painful mass in the quadriceps compartment. The diagnosis was fibro-adipose vascular anomaly (FAVA), a rare condition characterized by intramuscular replacement with fibro-fatty tissue, complex vascular malformation, venous thrombosis, and lymphatic involvement. The article presents various imaging findings, including radiographs, ultrasounds, MRIs, and CT scans, to support the diagnosis. The treatment options for FAVA include surgical removal, minimally invasive ablative procedures, and the use of sirolimus. The article emphasizes the importance of collaboration among specialists in diagnosing and managing FAVA. [Extracted from the article]
